[{"type":"text","content":" VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orezone Gold Corporation (TSX: ORE, OTCQX: ORZCF) (the “Company” or “Orezone”) is pleased to provide drill results from its Bomboré Gold Mine located in central Burkina Faso. The results are part of Orezone’s ongoing infill and advanced grade control program which was designed to further delineate multiple high-grade structures within the P8P9 Zone. All reported intercepts are in shallow oxides and are located within 1.5km of the Bomboré processing facility. Drilling Highlights: 18.41 g/t Au over 8.00m from 12.00m in hole BBC5771 11.92 g/t Au over 4.00m from 64.00m in hole BBC5786 4.27 g/t Au over 7.00m from 42.00m in hole BBC5826 2.63 g/t Au over 12.00m from 19.00m in hole BBC5828 17.59 g/t Au over 5.00m from 30.00m in hole BBC5829 22.17 g/t Au over 4.00m from 26.00m in hole BBC5912 33.49 g/t Au over 2.00m from 3.00m in hole BBC5980 0.90 g/t Au over 20.00m from 8.00m in hole BBC6070 1.67 g/t Au over 12.00m from 40.00m in hole BBC6080 Patrick Downey, President and CEO stated, “Following a successful first full year of production at Bomboré in 2023, where the focus was on bedding down the operation and deleveraging the balance sheet, Orezone is now looking to resume its exploration efforts at Bomboré. A recently completed structural review of the property has significantly opened up the exploration model, with an increasing focus now on delineating higher-grade structures to depth and along strike. With current mineral reserves down to an average depth of less than 40m across 14km of strike, we see significant potential to not only increase the overall mineral inventory at Bomboré, but the potential to systematically target higher-grade mineralization within the much broader structural corridor. While ongoing drilling in the near-term remains focused on further delineating near-surface, high-grade structures in advance of mining, we continue to rank multiple high-priority exploration targets for drilling in 2024.” Figure 1: Bomboré Plan Map Table 1: Highlight P8P9 Zone Oxide Drill Results Hole # From (m) To (m) Length (m) Grade (g/t Au) BBC5758 26.00 32.00 6.00 1.88 BBC5771 12.00 20.00 8.00 18.41 incl. 12.00 14.00 2.00 70.82 BBC5786 64.00 68.00 4.00 11.92 BBC5795 48.00 62.00 14.00 1.08 incl. 60.00 61.00 1.00 8.20 BBC5806 24.00 38.00 14.00 1....
